702 restoration questions

[abrown0920 0]

First off. My steering wheel is in great shape except for one small chunk missing. Are the any good products for sculpting this back in? WIll I have to repaint the steering wheel when I do it?

The old copper gas line from the fuel pump is in rough shape and seems like it should have gaskets or something on the connections. should there be gaskets?

There are 2 holes drilled in the belt guard right in front of where the 702 sticker will be, Is there any known reason why they are there or can I just get the welded in?

Thanks, Adam

Look to the auto restoration world for steering wheel restoration supplies. (check Eastwood in particular) Painting it might not be necessary, but it sure will make it look better.

The fuel line is sealed via the compression of rubber sleeves (P/N 220547-S) which are still available from Kohler dealers.

The two extra holes in the belt guard are just that..... weld them up and make them disappear. :thumbs2:

You might want to take a look at this website. POR-15 products are excellent, a little pricey but yield good results. Whatever product you use, the process is the same.
